Our destiny is to come fully alive
To explain sin, some have gone to the point of saying "I am just a sinner, saved by grace" or "there sure isn't anything good in me"
But this is unbibical
They point to: "For I know that nothing good lives in me" - Romans 7:18
Notice he says " in my flesh" - there is a difference between the flesh (old heart) and the true you
Yes, we battle sin and crucify the flesh but we choose to live from the new heart
That sinful nature you battle is not who you are
"it is no longer I myself who do it" X 2 - Romans 7:17-18; 20, 22
Paul opens the letter with "Paul, an apostle" not as a sinner
You should shine like stars - Philippians 2:15-16
Let your light shine before men - Matthew 5:16
Shame says - "I am nothing to look at. I am not capable of goodness"
Humility say - "I bear a glory for sure, but it is a reflected glory"
Key Phrase: Sinful nature you battle is not who you are
